No Fail Pie Crust II

Lard, baking powder, and vinegar combine with flour, water, and an egg to create the perfect dough for a tender, flaky pie crust. This easy recipe makes four roll-out-like-a-dream crusts.

INGREDIENTS (for 3 servings):

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 2/3 cups lard

1/2 cup water

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

PREPARATION:

In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in lard until mixture resembles coarse meal.

In a small bowl, mix together water, egg, and vinegar. Pour into lard mixture and stir until dough is thoroughly moistened and forms a ball. Divide into 4 portions and wrap tightly. Use dough within three days or freeze.
